We had some issues with the heater controls in the coach, and discovered a broken pin in the control unit. Replacing the plastic pin with the metal one from Sirums, cleaning and lubricating the plastic pieces (and Bowden cable) with a touch of white grease, made a world of difference. Now it feels like new! It's nice to get a project like this done with minimal headaches.

Yep, the original one had fractured and needed to be replaced. The $500 cost for a rebuilt one inspired me to give it a try and it went well. Just be careful working with 40+ year old plastic.
